Fastest to reach 1 million units in franchise history? Not surprised at that number, but the speed? Oh, the things nostalgia do for you! This is an amazing statistic given the series' outlandish success in the early '00s.

It’s official – Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 is the fastest game to reach 1 million units sold-through in franchise history! Congrats @TonyHawk.

Today's comparison is Tony Hawk gazing over Skate Heaven. Vicarious Visions eschewed the world in the distance for a bright, vibrant, lively rendition of heaven itself. This game looks spectacular! #THPS12

Been thoroughly enjoying THPS1+2 and I'm wrapping up final touches on the book's update. Here's a comparison shot I'll be including. 20 years later - what a difference!!!

I'm updating Tony Hawk's Gaming Domination and will re-issue it next month. The book will add chapters on Skate Jam & THPS1+2 and everything will be brought up to date. It will also finally be available on Kindle for those who prefer the format. Here's a THPS/THPS1+2 comparison.

In celebration of the new (old) THPS & THPS2 remake - here is a graphic I fashioned for the book. This is every Hawk model in every major game. One of so many cool images found within. September is going to be an exciting month!!!

I always said this would and could never happen. I was wrong... Guess I need to get ready to edit the book and ponder a second edition! https://t.co/Z9FmjKUdsT

@nbajambook The American covers were just terrible...In my book I ranked the best covers of all the Japanese Zero titles. Even the worst in Japan was still better than Zangief with a Capcom logo in his hand. :)

My second book is now on sale! Check it out - it's got the same comprehensive attention to detail THGD has!

[StreetFighterCompendium @SFCompendium]

@RetroCoreYakumo Looking to use an image of Street Fighter Zero 2 Wide for a book I'm writing on the Zero series. Is there any chance you could help me with a decent snapshot or could I perhaps use one from your YouTube video? Would truly appreciate it! Let me know! :)

@HG_101 Despite my love for Cave, I've all but given up actually trying to collect anything. But that collection is a behemoth. So awesome.

[Tony Hawk's Gaming Domination @THGDBook]

@ckunzelman Cameron, as you've written two recent Tony Hawk-related articles on Kotaku, you might be interested in a book I've written on the series. I'd be glad to share a digital copy if you might consider mentioning it on Kotaku. Drop me a line if you're curious! Thanks!

[Tony Hawk's Gaming Domination @THGDBook]

@moemudzi I have no plans to distribute beyond Amazon's reach, though it is available in Europe. The only other option is digital (https://t.co/97u4tfuH21) Sorry, man!

A cleaned-up image of the THPS3D logo. This mobile version of THPS was shown at E3 in 2005, before it lost the "Mobile Edition" suffix. This game didn't support simultaneous button presses, rendering the trick system a mess. More info in this strange one in the book, of course!

[Tony Hawk's Gaming Domination @THGDBook]

Did you know? If Tony Hawk himself could choose any one bonus skater, who would he pick? As per our 2002 interview with him: Marvin the Martian from Looney Tunes! More interesting, unique and stupid facts inside!

[Tony Hawk's Gaming Domination @THGDBook]

An awesome, 18-minute video by Rad Rat Video covers 26 unique & interesting facts from my book. It's funny: he used to read my site and now I follow his videos! The book is packed with tons more than even this! Enjoy if you haven't seen it yet! https://t.co/iGPLQXq1dM
